I always laugh when Liberals talk about how Paul Martin was this wonderous finance minister. He dipped into the EI and gouged the provinces by cutting transfer payments by 1/3. His party also made a mockery of the military by cutting the budget and closing numerous bases. Playing a shell game doesnt make you a great finance minister. Anyone whos business is held off shore in a tax shelter is more anti-Canadian than anything Stephen Harper has done.

I think Harper has done an okay job as PM. I dont care for his social ideologies, but I believe his handling of the recession was superior to anything the other federal parties would have done.
